We performed a comparison between SonicWall TZ and Untangle NG Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Firewalls solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are a feature that we found valuable."
"The application control features, such as Facebook blocking and Spotify blocking, are the most valuable."
"FortiGate's web and URL filtering are unlike any other firewall I've used. The functionality of URL filtering in those solutions is problematic because everything is encrypted, and firewalls can't break that encryption protocol. Fortinet has an SSL proxy, so the encryption is done before the packet ever leaves the FortiGate. The URL filter is definitely one of the most helpful features."
"FortiGate SD-WAN facilitated a smooth transition for our customers between their two internet service providers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity without any downtime."
"It is easy to use and performs very well."
"Overall security features and performance routing is good."
"You can create multiple Virtual Domains (VDOMs), which are treated as separate firewall instances."
"The customization potential is quite impressive."
"It does exactly what it says on the tin. It is good for protecting the business from being compromised. Its port protection is very good."
"Content filtering and application rules are the most valuable features. It is also easy to configure."
"We use the content filter quite a lot because it's an office setting. During working hours, we like to censor the sites users can visit so it increases productivity. Therefore, the content filter has been good for us."
"It's been very easy to implement and deploy."
"SonicWall TZ is very user-friendly and has network MAC binding. Additionally, the firewall works well."
"The solution is priced fairly and competitively."
"SonicWall TZ is a stable product."
"Ease of management and the VPN integration."
"The most valuable features are IPS, MAPI, NAT, and VPN."
"The interface is very good."
"None of my clients has had a ransom or breach using Untangle."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Web filtering is very reliable."
"Web Filter is effective, Web Cache offers bandwidth savings, and the VPN setup is easy."
"It is not attached to an appliance, meaning if you get a good PC/server, then you can already run a firewall."
"The product helps small and medium enterprises secure their networks from intrusions. It also has features like DNS blocking."
"Some of the software stability could improve."
"There is room for improvement related to the logging and reporting aspect."
"Its reporting and pricing need improvement."
"Stability and technical support are the two major issues I have found with Fortinet."
"Technical support for this solution can be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the product's application rules."
"I would like to see more advanced developments of a wireless controller in the future."
"It needs more available central management."
"There is a point I don't like about SonicWall in the past and now. Most of the destinations we look at when we're detecting some user using too much bandwidth or something like that, SonicWall just gave us destination IP address, instead of the full qualified domain name. I think that's the most important part that is still missing. I think that's the most important for us."
"Sonic Analyzer could be improved. It's difficult to manage and not very intuitive."
"We would like to improve the rules configuration in SonicWall TZ. Sometimes the rules don't work."
"Getting support can be slow."
"The technology in this particular version is very old."
"The lack of support is having me look into other solutions to replace SonicWALL."
"User interface could be improved."
"The solution should provide some additional ports."
"The hardware can be improved."
"We seek the availability of the hardware in our region. The hardware-based firewall from Untangle is currently not available in our region. It should have threat protection on a real-time basis. This feature, available in Check Point and Sandstorm kind of scenario, is currently missing in Untangle NG Firewall."
"The product needs to improve its mobile application."
"Web-filtering policies could be improved."
"It would be much easier if there was a mobile app."
"Whenever there are a large number of endpoint VPN clients, connectivity becomes slow."
"For the web filter, I think they can do better especially on the free model."
"The management console for partners is a bit tricky (buggy)."
